Scene 1   (Class room)

(Nikhil and Rahul are two best friends. They study in the same school and classroom. Once upon a time both the boys came after playing. Both are sweating. They have already missed their first class. Both directly enter the class without permission of the teacher.)

Teacher: Wait students. You can’t enter the class without my permission.

Nikhil and Rahul: Sorry mam. (Both go out and ask for permission.)

Teacher: Have you done your homework?

Nikhil and Rahul: No mam.

Teacher: Why haven’t you done your homework? Were you wasting your time in         playing? All other students have done their homework. Only you both haven’t done your homework. (Little pause) You both are lazy fellows and never complete your homework on time. You should change yourself and do homework. Only hard work can give you success in your exams and also in your life ahead. Still you have time to improve but if time goes you would not be able to get what you deserve.

Teacher: Go and take your seat.

Scene 2 (Home)

Nikhil: Hey! Rahul lets go for playing.

Rahul: No, I will not come for playing I have to prepare for tomorrow’s test.

Nikhil: From when onwards have you started studying? You always come playing with me!

Rahul: Haven’t you heard what teacher said in the morning?

Nikhil: Ah……….!! Who heard her? She was speaking nonsense.

Rahul: No, she was right. I will not come. If you want you can go.

Raj: Hey brother!! He don’t want to come. Why are you forcing him to come?

Nikhil: He is my best friend! I can’t play without him.

Raj: Ok as you wish! But I am warning you, you are just wasting your time.

Rahul: Your brother is right. I won’t come and you are wasting your time.

Nikhil: Bye then!

Rahul: Bye.

Scène 3 (Class room)

Teacher: Be prepared for the test! Students! All the best!

Nikhil: (after seeing in the test paper) oh! What a difficult test. I don’t know a single answer. What will I do now?

Rahul: Didn’t I say you to study? Why didn’t you study then?

Nikhil: Oh! I am really sorry. I will never do it again. Will you please tell me the answer?

Rahul: No, it would be a cheating and it not good.

Nikhil: Ok! Don’t say. I will do it on my own.

(After some time)

Teacher: Give me your answer sheets. I will check it. (Students give their answer sheets)

(After checking the answer sheets)

Teacher: Congratulations!! Rahul, you have scored highest in the class.

Rahul: Thank you, mam!

Teacher: Nikhil, come here.

Nikhil: Yes mam (trembling)

Teacher: Your score is very bad. You have failed.

Nikhil: Sorry mam. I promise I would do my best in next test.

Teacher: Ok! I give you one more chance. Try to change yourself.

 Scene 5 (Future)

Anchor: I am very happy to tell you all that the ‘Businessman of the year’ Award goes to Rahul Sharma. I invite him to come upon the stage and tell few words.

Rahul: Thank you for this award. I am very grateful to my parents, god, my well wishes and specially to my teacher because of whom I am here in front of you all. She played a very important role in my life. She led me to the correct way and made me a good citizen of our country. She is the best teacher I have ever seen. Thank you.

(At home after getting the award)

Rahul: I always thought about my teachers but not about Nikhil. What would have happened to him? I will go and meet him tomorrow.

(Next morning)

Rahul: Oh! What a terrible house. How does he live here? He must be in very bad condition.

Hey Nikhil! Are you there?

Nikhil: Yes, I am here. Who’s there? Hey Rahul! It’s you. After so long time. How are you?

 Rahul: I am fine. What has happened to you? Why are you living here in such a bad condition? You deserve more than this.

Nikhil: Oh! It’s my fate. In past I didn’t listen to my teacher and this is the result.

Rahul: That is why I tell you all (to the audience); please listen to your teachers. They always want you to be the best.
